Cricket 1889

MAT 23, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 131 NORTH v. SOTJTH. In arranging this important fixture for the Oval at such an early date as the middle of May, with- the express object of preventing collision with County matches, it is to be regretted the Surrey committee were unable to command the success which they certainly did their best to deserve. As a matter of fact their efforts were met by failure at the outset. Shrewsbury was unable to play owing to pressure of business, Lancashire, though play­ ing a Colts’ match at Oldham, could only spare Briggs, and Messrs. Spofforth and Eccles could not see their way to accept Surrey’s invitation. Sherwin, too, was lame, and Carlin, the second Btring of Notts, had to take the wickets. Through the ready assistance of Mr. H. Perkins, the Secretary of the Marylebone Club, in granting leave to several of the best profess­ ionals engaged at Lord’s, the Northern eleven was, however, fairly representative. Even greater difficulties, though, were found in the collection of the Southern team. Mr. W. G. Grace, being in doubt as to his ability to play owing to his recent indisposition, deemed it advisable to yield his place, and Abel, owing to illness, and Mr. Stoddart, in consequence of business, had to give up all idea of playing on Thursday morning when the match began. Instead of the two last named Henderson and Sharpe, who has just qualified for Surrey, were included in the Southern eleven. In addition to the difficulties encountered in col­ lecting the two elevens, the ground,owing to the recent rains, was all in favour of the bowlers, and the scoring was very much below the average of the Oval. At twelve o’clock on Thursday, when play began, a mist overhung the ground, and Ulyett, who acted as Captain of the North, thinking that the pitch would improve, decided to take the field. His judgment proved to be correct, as the wicket, though not difficult, was too slow for the batsmen, mostly out of practice, and it took over two hours and a half for the Southerners to make 68. Of this total Mr. Read and Henderson contributed 41, and both played well, the latter showing great care. Peel, Attewell and Briggs shared the bowling for the North. Attewell in particular was most successful. He was unchanged throughout the innings, and his figures, 45 overs (32 maidens) for 19 runs and five wickets, were especially noteworthy. The Northerners in their turn made a bad start, and the total was only 15 when the third wicket fell. Barnes and Gunn however by good cricket put on 39, and Mr. Daft, Flowers and Attewell also gave such useful assistance that at the end of the first <?ay they had secured 127 for the loss of nine wickets. As the ground was dry­ ing fast on Thursday afternoon it was hoped that with ordinary luck the South would be able the following day to im ­ prove materially on their first show. The heavy dew on Friday morning, however, dis­ pelled any such hopes and the wicket helped the bowlers much more than on the previous day. As a consequence the South failed altogether, and in an hour and a half Peel and Attewell dismissed them for the small total of 35, to which Hearne, with 7 not out, was the principal contributor. The two bowlers named were unchanged, and Attewell, who kept up an end throughout the match, was again singularly successful. Mr. Shuter left his wicket thinking he had been bowled, but the ball, according to the umpires, rebounded from the wicket keeper’s pads and neither of th?m would have given thebatsmau out. In the two innings of the South Attewell took ten wickets for 35 runs. The North won by an innings and 25 runs. S o u t h . First Innings. f„ Second Innings Mr. W. W.

A little over one day sufficed to bring this match, begun at Lord’s on Thursday morning, to a conclusion. The ground had not yet righted itself after the heavy rains, and as a consequence the batsmen were seen at a di - advantage throughout. The fixture between North and South at the Oval, too, deprived M.C.C. of the services of many of its best all round professionals, and though Mr. W. G. Grace,who had been suffering from asore throat, was able to play at the last moment the side was only weak in batting. Sussex however was well represented, Bean, who was not able to play at all last year, re-appearing to the great advantage of the eleven. In the first day 31 wickets fell for an aggregate of 262 runs, and the game lasted under half an hour on the second morning, 287 runs in all being scored with 33 wickets down. Mr. C. E. de Trafford, the Leicestershire amateur, was. the most suc­ cessful rungetter for Marylebone and Quaife for Sussex, though Major and Jesse Hide, the latter of whom was missed at long- leg when he had made 7, decided the match in favour of the County by seven wickets, each showing good cricket. Mr. W . G. Grace and Bean, as will be seen, bowled with re­ markable success. The former secured ten Sussex wickets at an average cost of under 7 runs. Bean though was even more successful and his figures were the best of the match. In all he dismissed thirteen batsmen for 67 runs, and his performance in the opening match of Sussex warrants the hope that his bowling will assist the County very materially this summer.
